No

He spent his time coming to your house and will spend more time working on the quote. I think this will become more of a common practice.

Did you like him? That would go a long way for me if I’d hire him

No, I haven’t heard of a tradesman trying that for decades. Did he tell you in advance he was going to charge for the quote? I think I’d be wary of him.

Hi Gransnetters, I asked a plumber to do a quote - he came around this afternoon. Would you use him after he asked that?
